Fedora Insight is a Drupal-based website that serves as a place to publish and share news, articles related to Fedora and Fedora marketing materials in various formats. Insight makes it easy for users, developers, and journalists -- people who aren't yet a part of the Fedora contributor community -- to keep up with recent highlights without following a dozen different blogs and mailing lists.

This wiki page is for people interested in working on and contributing to Fedora Insight itself.

How to help

Personal InformationFedora is a very visible and transparent project. Its mailing lists are archived and mirrored in many places on the internet outside of our control. Please use caution when sharing personal information with Fedora on a mailing list, because it is not possible for us to remove any postings from the wider Internet universe after they are sent.

Become part of our team

Your skills/experiences/interests -- Even if you're active within another Fedora team, there may be other Fedora folks who haven't had the chance to meet you yet, so let them know who you are and that you're around!

The first task or ticket you plan to work on (see "Current issues" above) -- if you want to work on something else, tell us what it is

(optional) Check out any other #Communications channels that you might be interested in.

Alternatively, people who are a part of the (FAS) group gitfedora-insight-theme can check out using the SSH method:

git clone ssh://git.fedorahosted.org/git/fedora-insight-theme.git

Once you have checked out the files for the theme, install the theme as follows:

Copy the "fedora" folder within the checkout you just downloaded into the /etc/drupal/all/themes folder in your local Drupal sandbox install.

Log into your local Drupal sandbox instance as the site administrator.

Go to Administration > Layout > Theme, then select the Fedora theme.

To contribute patches back, you can either email your patches to the logistics mailing list, or you can apply for the git group for the theme in the Fedora Account System to commit to the repository.

If you are fixing a Trac ticket with your patch, you should update that ticket and email the logistics list to let people know what you've worked on. This helps keep everyone informed, but it also lets the list know about your contribution to the team so you can be recognized appropriately for your assistance.

Infrastructure

The Infrastructure team is helping us get Fedora Insight up on production (and keep it running there).

Packaging

We could always use packaging help for Drupal and related modules. Here are the things we currently need work on:

Drupal 6 is currently available for EL5 in EPEL 5-Testing. We can now package and ship modules in EPEL to go with the new drupal6 package.

The modules we need are shown on the Insight customizations to Drupal page. They include our custom theme and authentication modules, but those are packaging efforts that will be specific to Fedora infrastructure since they aren't useful to the rest of the community (although they're still 100% FOSS and available to anyone of course). These modules are standard contributed modules in Drupal 6 and we need them packaged:
